Have you ever heard of the foods: Lechon, Sinigang, Longanisa or Adobo? I didn’t think so. If yes, bonus points for you! This is a short-list of some of my all-time favorite Filipino dishes, and it’s a shame that they haven’t made it into the mainstream American food scene. Having been born and raised in […]

I remember when Vosges introduced Mo’s Milk Chocolate Bacon Bar and people thought it was the wildest thing. “Bacon and chocolate?!?!?!,” they would gasp. “That’s crazy!” Now, but seven short years later, it’s not so strange. Today, bacon is popping up in all kinds of unexpectedly sweet places like donuts, pie, even soda. Even I, […]

The theme of the 2014 SacFoodies Potluck (our 7th annual!) was “Small Bites” and I was inspired to return to my 2011 potluck roots and decided to select a recipe from PotatoGoodness.com (one of our clients is the US Potato Board).

The dilemma? Too many great local beers to choose from! Help us decide which beer keg to enjoy for our special occasion […]

For our recent SacFoodies potluck, the group voted for a color category theme – yes, you guessed it, dishes selected by their dominant color, from red, orange, green, purple and brown (for good measure). I took to the web for inspiration and found the perfect recipe for a light, no-cook, orange-colored Shrimp and Mango Salad, […]

When I think of potlucks, the first thing that comes to mind is comfort food that can be easily prepared in advance and that will be appetizing to a variety of palates. One of my favorite go-to recipes utilizes my favorite cooking technique (aka the “set it and forget it” crock pot). It also satisfies […]
